Potassium Tablets for Photometers

Overview

Potassium tablets measure potassium, used to characterise a raw water, to follow potassium-based treatment chemicals and in agriculture where the ionic makeup of irrigation water is specified alongside nitrogen and phosphorus.

Key features

• Completes the major-ion picture alongside sodium, calcium and magnesium
• One tablet per test, so there is no measuring or decanting of liquid reagents
• Foil-sealed strips keep unused tablets dry until they are needed
• Supplied in the standard 250-tablet pack, item code TbsPPTST250

Frequently asked questions

When is a potassium test needed?
Usually as part of a full ionic balance on a raw water, in fertigation where potassium is part of the nutrient dose, or where a potassium-based treatment chemical is being tracked.

Photometer grade or rapid grade — which do I need?
Photometer grade is formulated for instruments that read a cuvette. If you work with a visual comparator or colour disc, ask us for the rapid-dissolving grade instead.

How should the tablets be stored?
Keep them sealed, cool and dry, and work through the oldest strip first. Once a strip is opened the tablets take up moisture, so use them promptly.
